Wow that's quite a list, I didn't realize it was that long until I typed it. I remember each card distinctively and what I played on them at the time. Fun stuff.
I tried using DOSBox/D-Fend to play a relatively old game (Fragile AllegianceJ3RK said:These were the glorious days of DOS. No Windows fuqing stuff up, sucking resources, etc. Configuration was a nightmare for those that weren't totally into it, but I actually enjoyed trying to free up memory, load TSRs etc. It was rather puzzle like![]()
Now I play all those games under DOSBox. http://dosbox.sourceforge.net for those interested.

I asked earlier.Harkamus said:I am more than interested to know what games you played on all those cards, especially the earlier ones. Seriously, I'd get a kick out of that. I'd probably not know half of the games you'd list, but it'd be interesting nonetheless.
So if you will.... Thanks.
J3RK said:Actually EGA wasn't all that bad. It was 16 static colors or 4bit color depending on the card, so it's similar to say the Commodore 64. I played a lot of the first PC Sierra games on it, like Hero's Quest, Leisuresuit Larry, King's Quest, etc. And old Lucas games too. Those early VGA cards would run a lot of games too. They'd run doom, though not well at all.

I don't even remember the names of the games that I played with an MGA (monochrome graphics... Hercules standard), but with EGA I used to play the old "Softdisk"-style games ($4.99 at Electronics Botique, Walden Books and Warehouse). I remember before I had VGA I would play Commander Keen and the crummy looking PC ports of games that looked decent on the Amiga. A little while later games finally started looking better because VGA replaced everything else.Harkamus said:I am more than interested to know what games you played on all those cards, especially the earlier ones.
